I don't agree. I think we *can* make it standard. It will just require more work and more thought. All smalljac does is provide a *faster* implementation of functions already in sage. On 64-bit it will get built and used -- on 32-bit it won't get built, and instead we'll fall back to using existing functionality. -- William > I'd say most computers are 64 bits anyway now... so I would not mind it > being optional. > But does it really change anything anyway? except for the fact that Drew > Sutherland might be more pleased if the package is optional rather than > experimental? > I don't think we have any specific license requirement either for optional > and experimental spkg, do we? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
